• Description:
• Request for proposals are invited for Assessing On-Site Vs. Cloud Services in Ethiopia The Digital Health Activity (DHA), implemented by John Snow, Inc. (JSI), is soliciting proposals for an assessment of on-site vs. cloud services in Ethiopia. The DHA is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is subject to all applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and AID Acquisition Regulations (AIDAR). The purpose of the five-year DHA is to support the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) to improve the quality of health services and create a sustainable healthcare system through the use of data for decision-making, as well as to provide similar services to other countries in Africa or to respond to a crisis in Ethiopia (as needed). The primary objectives of the Activity are to 1) support information technology systems and data repositories at all levels; 2) build a culture of data use; and 3) improve the capacity and governance of MOH health information systems management. The Ethiopian Ministry of Health, its agencies, and regional health bureaus have made significant achievements with digitalization of the health system across sectors in the past decade. Along with this, the use of cloud-based services has become increasingly prevalent in recent years and many organizations are considering whether to move their hosting operations to the cloud. The purpose of this consultancy is to research, analyze, and provide recommendations on the most appropriate hosting option for the MOH, taking into account factors such as cost, security, scalability, and compliance requirements. This means assessing: whether to utilize on-site OR cloud services for data management, OR a hybrid solution.
